  • Calculate Moles of Gas Using the Ideal Gas Law
    We can use the ideal gas law to calculate the number of moles of gas. The ideal gas law is:

    $$PV = nRT$$

    where:

    * \(P\) is the pressure of the gas

    * \(V\) is the volume of the gas

    * \(n\) is the number of moles of gas

    * \(R\) is the ideal gas constant

    * \(T\) is the temperature of the gas

    We are given the following information:

    * \(P = 1.2 ATM\)

    * \(V = 31 liters\)

    * \(T = 87 c = 360 k\)

    We can use the ideal gas constant in units of L * ATM / (mol * K) which equals: 0.08206

    Substituting these values into the ideal gas law, we get:

    $$1.2 ATM * 31 liters = n * 0.08206 L * ATM / (mol * K) * 360 k$$

    Solving for \(n\), we get:

    $$n = 1.03 moles$$

    Therefore, we have 1.03 moles of gas.
